Never....it's gone for good I'm afraid. I'm actually surprised that the 3 main stars of the original agreed to do this.




SADLY we live in a world of remakes, reboots, sequels, music covers, AND "reality" tv! Like I said SAD!!!

Covers aren't always bad though.

i dunno, some are pretty bad. its like, come up with your own shit!

I've heard a few pretty good covers, not lately though.

For instance. Eric Clapton's Cocaine.

True enough....historically, sometimes they are actually even better than the original. I was just lumping it in with the whole anti-originality thing. I actually forgot to mention the whole "sampling" thing.....which is actually more of a problem than covers (which, comparitively speaking isn't that big a problem) are even.

A few good songs has also come from sampling. Scorpions' Always Somewhere.

I've seen re-runs...I didn't get into it. Maybe it was an 80's thing.

I like most 80's things, but I don't relate I guess.

I am crossing my fingers for a reboot of Simon and Simon except instead of brothers that are a few years apart, they are conjoined twins fighting crime.

 

[Jon S.]

Well they are also rebooting Charlie's Angels (as a television show).....so who knows what's next.

 

[georges]

remakes are rarely as good as the originals

 

[meesterperfect]

I never watched Dallas, but I remember it was on at 10 pm on fridays if I recall correctly.
I remember because there was never shit on on fridays.........But I'd check it out sometimes just to get a glimpse of victoria or charleene
but by 82 I was never home anyway.
